Made a very nice impact on games with his ability to score and rebound by using his strength and athleticism. He doesn’t allow himself to be outworked by anyone regardless of their size, instead he finds a body to box out early for boards as soon as the shot goes up.
Certain players seem to have a natural gift of finding ways to put the ball in the bucket, and he is one of those players. He was one of the leading scorers in the division at over 21 PPG and he scored in just about every way possible. Knocking down shots, slashing to the basket and capitalizing at the free throw line after drawing fouls.
The quick and crafty Guard finished at the #6 spot in the division in scoring, averaging over 18 PPG. He beat players off the dribble with ease, got into the paint at a high rate, and scored the ball from multiple levels.

It’s always refreshing to see a player that understands their role on the team and does it to the best of their abilities, and that is exactly what we saw from Landon. He is the shooter on his team and provided a nice amount of perimeter scoring on his way to a team high of 21 Points. Constantly moving without the ball while always being ready to shoot, he showed why it’s a bad idea to leave him open for even a moment.

Regardless of whether or not his shot was falling for him, he remained aggressive throughout, continuing to attack and seek out opportunities to score in various ways. He would finish with an average of just under 25 PPG which placed him at the #1 spot in scoring for the division but averaged close to 30 PPG on the first day of the tournament. His ability to get his shot off against different types of pressure and the ability to score from numerous levels were two attributes that impressed us.

A player that plays bigger than his height, he made a high impact on games with his scoring and rebounding ability. He broke down defenders off the dribble, dominated the boards on both ends and scored the ball from the perimeter at an efficient rate.
